I would like to use this in my bedroom. I get 4g LTE (AT&T about 3-4 bars by window) will this help me away from the window?

Yes it will, there is a long cord for the antenna so you can move the booster a pretty good ways away. But you do have to keep the phone in the booster and would need to use either Bluetooth or speaker phone to talk. I had it located in our office and the booster on the opposite side of room on desk. About 10' + away from antenna. It really does work well to increase your signal.

Yes,it will add a couple of bars,but you have to buy the Sleek that provides the additional signal strength.This item is only the stand accessory kit.
748
It should, if you have some coverage it should significanly improve it. The antenna works best with a ground plane and you might consider an antenna with more gain than what comes with the kit.

Also you can get more precise signal information by going to settings then about phone at the very bottom then status and you can see signal strength which deals with dbs or dmbs meaning the less negative the better. I learned that -100 is good and -120 is really bad.-85 is great. Ever consider going to VZ and not iPhone just for reception reasons and nothing else?

I have a sleek 800 Smart Technology Signal Booster which was under $100 through Amazon.

I bought one and I would have been better off buy a piece of string and hooking it to a can hoping to get a signal through the string. It dont work... I waisted money buying it and due to im over seas hoping to get a better signal, and trying to return it is nearly impossible from here. It would cost me even more to try to return it..

I bought the sleek car unit $80.0 or so, a home office (wilson) $25.00 and a Jabra blue tooth $25.00. I could only get 1 bar by the window. I hooked all this up and I get two bars....but I get great reception all thru my house and even outside! I don't use anything in the car package except the cradle but if you are traveling you can easily hook it up in your car and get great reception in areas that you normally couldn't This is at a 2nd home and I didn't want to sign up for service since I'm not there all the time. I have an iphone 3G. Some $ put out to start but no monthly fees...I think its a better deal and my husband can use it with his phone also.

Hi. Idk if is gonna work or not, I tested with the Tmobile 4G LTE broadband sim card the speed is slow on this device, I mean is very. ... very slow, on the monitor show only 2G speed, not 3G as advertised. I guess you can contact the seller, maybe they will give you the answer.

I use it in an AT&T; only coverage area. I don't get much signal anywhere but my living room and it's fair signal
2108994
Yes, as long as you have a good wireless or LTE connection. Sometimes it's off by .02, but that's easily dealt with.
1273327
What bothers me is that you said you live miles from "coverage," which could mean you show zero bars of signal. That won't work. You need to be inside the AT&T; coverage area and showing some kind of signal. Even one bar with -105 dB will work...but there needs to be something to latch onto.

As long as your phone picks up on the 4G LTE band. Within frequency specification range. I am very pleased with Zboost. very reliable system I cannot say the range is great and it doesn't really do good through walls but if you're in the same room with in the unit itself you're good you need additional indoor antenna amplifier to maximize the range of indoor usage. I still use the base antenna and the range is it far but then again I run a lot of equipment specially computer equipment and a lot of satellite equipment so if your whereabouts in location doesn't consist of other metal material and a lot of circuitry you should be fine.

Not in my case in the bedroom. The tv is on a bookcase in front of a window facing east. But the antenna works best fixed to the WALL, above the doorway to my bathroom, which faces south. I've tried several times, and it just doesn't work well in the window. It DOES work better in the window in my den; the window in my den faces SOUTH. Most of the towers are about 20 - 30 miles SOUTH of me.

The system itself needs and comes with an antenna that is mounted on your roof at the highest point. We live in a tri-level house so it is mounted on the chimney and then pointed to the direction of the nearest cell tower. The unit you are asking about is located in a window away from the solid brick wall outside and the two big trees in our backyard. We used to have the same problem and once I acquired more cable than what came with the unit moving it closer to the main floor made a huge difference. I get 4-5 bars at any given time; in addition, my calls come through and don't go straight to voicemail as happened in the past. We live in a "micro" climate whereby we are below a lot of multi level brick homes and a lot of tall trees. Though not rural still difficult to get a signal. This unit helped a lot. Good luck. I would suggest that you call your carrier and ask where the nearest cell tower is located and start from that point.

this unit ONLY works if you have very high speed internet and lots of data capacity, and no it will not work thru a window

As long as you have a signal you wlll not be using any GB. Your GB are used up when you are only on 3g.

I do use it just for my home. I simply put the antenna on the window sill that provided the best signal. It is working quite well. (One bar improves to 4 bars almost always)

It boosts the cellular signal in the phone. So say you have 3g or 4g or lte on your phone. By sitting your phone in this cradle you get more bars. Or in areas where there be no bars it will usually give you a weak signal. You must have a cell phone plan active for this to work. It's not free signal. It is not designed for WIFI either. Just for cellular. Also Wilson makes a model for 3g, 4g, and LTE so make sure you get the correct model for your phone type

This device is all you need for 4G coverage moving or stopped. My wife uses ours to stay connected from our RV while we are traveling. It has worked reliably since we began using it. Hope this helps you.

You might not need to take it to the spot of 4g... The higher the antenna is the better.. So if you get a pole mount and put a pole on top of your house you should see the increased 4g. That's how mine is. Iv never had 4g inside my house.. Iv never had 3G. Only 1x threw the past 8 years... Now I get 4-5 bars 4g in my dinning room and 2bars in the next room..... But I also bought the upgraded indoor antenna because the DT4G comes with the black "desk" antenna... It only give you service if your within 5 feet... So if you want more area buy the 460101 and buy 304447($80)

There are 2 aspects to this. The GPS signal the extender needs from the outside and the internal "cellular" signal the extender puts out. As far as the GPS signal, if you can place the extender in a window that isn't obstructed by a lot of trees or buildings outside then you should have no problem getting a good GPS signal. If it is impossible to get the extender near a window you can buy the external GPS antenna which allows you to place extender in one place and run the antenna up to the window. With regards to the "cell" signal the extender puts out, a lot depends on the structure inside the building. If the steel building is mostly open with a few walls inside then you should get decent coverage. If there a decent amount of metal walls, a few block concrete walls and/or many wood frame walls then they all can cut down on the signal strength inside your building that your phones need to operate.

It simply boosts your local cell signal. If you had LTE access with your cell coverage then I'd say yes. Can always email the folks at Wilson too.

I don't know what you call "a lot of Windows", but I used it in a room with one window 5 ft x 6 ft and never experienced any interference. Was well satisfied with range of signal reception and quality. Go for it.
